Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar energy applications focused on photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) systems continue becoming increasingly common as the utilization of renewable energy sources expands significantly. The PVT system is widely used in different applications to produce electrical or thermal energy in different regions and continental zones. The main difficulties in PVT systems are brought about by the complexity, nonlinearity, and instability in the mathematical and the electrical model through the current–voltage and power–voltage characteristics. According to several variables, including module temperature, solar radiation and its distribution, spectrum, cable losses, dust deposition, shading, and soiling, and the relationship across photovoltaic current and voltage, is implicit and nonlinear. As a result, it is crucial to develop a more precise mathematical model that can more accurately depict the interaction among current, voltage, and power and show the real performance.
The aims of this Special Issue are to publish original and review papers on the application of the mathematical model and analysis and optimization of photovoltaic/thermal systems using different methods. A wide range of potential research areas could be of interest, including but not restricted to simulation modeling, mathematical modeling, optimization techniques, metaheuristic algorithms, computation intelligence algorithms, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematical and Computational Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
